This feels like the first time I went to Lanxiang Pavilion and was taken over by the girls.
According to the imperial edict, Ning Chen was ordered by Wu Zhao to secretly investigate the ins and outs of the fifth prince's case.
In the end, Ning Chen lived up to his trust, investigated the matter clearly, and returned justice to the people.
Except for Ning Chen's part, the rest is the punishment for the fifth prince and the reward for Ning Chen.
The fifth prince was directly demoted to common people as a warning to others.
Ning Chen didn't care what happened to the fifth prince, the key was that Wu Zhao actually fucked himself for nothing.
The difference between Wu Zhao and Hong Xiao is that Wu Zhao gave more.
This time Ning Chen will receive ten thousand taels of gold, and will be promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and the right minister of the Ministry of War. At the same time, his position in the Ministry of Personnel will also be retained.
"Don't dare to use the donkeys in the production team like this. Even if they are used to pull goods, they still have to pull carts and grind."
Ning Chen complained in his heart, but he had to admit it.
Now, in the court, I can definitely be regarded as a powerful person.
Ning Chen put down the imperial edict and asked Wu Zhao: "Your Highness, if I had not intervened in this matter, how would this matter have ended?"
Wu Zhao put down the teacup with a celadon flower mouth that he had just taken a sip from: "It still won't change, because I have you in my plan. If you don't take the initiative to intervene, I will ask you to intervene."
"So Your Highness has been holding back and waiting for me to come back from the academy?" Ning Chen asked.
"That's right." Wu Zhao said.
"Then what if His Highness comes to me and I reject His Highness?" Ning Chen continued to ask.
Wu Zhaoxing's eyes flashed, and he said with great confidence: "You will not refuse, because I have given you a lot."
Ning Chen:(°ー°〃)
When Ning Chen didn't react to what he said, Wu Zhao continued: "Even if you really don't want to intervene, it doesn't matter. It's just a waste of an imperial edict and a loss of a name."
Ning Chen looked at Wu Zhao who spoke so straightforwardly and had such a feeling.
Obviously I went to the bar to hunt for a girl, but I was ready to have sex the next day.
As a result, when I woke up early the next morning, I found an extra 20,000 yuan on my bedside, as well as a note that read: Don't look for me.
This feeling is really too (fuck, fuck).
But who told Wu Zhao and Panda Da that everything Panda Da said was right.
"Whether you are really helping me or not, I am now using you as my confidant.
Therefore, when all the vassal princes and princes come to Beijing to pay homage to me, I really need you to cooperate with me."
Wu Zhao calmed down a little and said to Ning Chen.
As soon as he heard that the vassal king and the prince had arrived in the capital, Ning Chen immediately became energetic.
As it relates to the feudal lord and the prince, I think something will be triggered, and there will definitely be [neglect] points when the time comes.
Moreover, the matter between the feudal lord and the prince might lead to chaos and chaos, and the country would be in turmoil.
For me, this is definitely something worth looking forward to.
"How do you need my cooperation, Your Highness?" Ning Chen asked energetically.
Wu Zhao looked at Ning Chen who suddenly became energetic and wondered where Ning Chen got his energy from.
However, Wu Zhao still said: "The entry of the vassal prince and the prince into the capital is the biggest test since I established the crown prince.
Whether I can secure my position as Crown Prince depends on whether I can pass the test safely this time."
Ning Chen said with a serious face: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will do my best to help Your Highness secure his position as Crown Prince."
If the empress could eavesdrop on Ning Chen's heart at this time, she would hear Ning Chen's truest thoughts:
Da Wuzhao, I will really protect you, although the process may be a bit tortuous.
You may need to go down first, and then wait until I get enough [佞] points to become invincible in the world, and then send you up.
But don’t worry, Da Wuzhao, I absolutely support you becoming emperor.
After all, I am not a person who likes men to be together.
Although Wu Zhao couldn't eavesdrop on Ning Chen's thoughts, she could also see that Ning Chen actually meant it when he said this.
It's just that this sincerity seems to be a bit confusing.
"Your Highness, will you give me the task?" Ning Chen said to Wu Zhao emotionally.
Wu Zhao didn't think much about anything else, but said to Ning Chen: "You don't have to do too much, just wait for them to find you. Then you just tell me what they want."
"Is it that simple?" After listening to Wu Zhao's instructions, Ning Chen felt that this task was a little too simple.
Wu Zhao lightly opened his lips and said, "You should do this first. Wait until I know the other things. I will tell you what they want."
Ning Chen hesitated for a while, but still said: "Your Highness, with all due respect, this matter is a bit simpler.
Your Highness, I really want to help you, you have to trust me, you have to entrust me with important responsibilities!"
Ning Chen was looking forward to the arrival of the vassal king and the prince in the capital.
If it is just on the periphery, what if the event cannot be triggered?
Wu Zhao glanced at Ning Chen and said: "If you think of those vassal kings and princes, will you look for them all?
First you have to be able to let them find you, and then you are qualified to say what else you can do next?
If they don't look for you, I entrust you with a heavy responsibility, do you know what you should do?"
This is not a bad thing to say.
However, Ning Chen was not too worried about having those vassal princes and princes looking for him.
After all, he is a powerful person now, and if he behaves a little more cunningly, Ning Chen still believes that they can come to him.
"Your Highness, doesn't Marquis Dingguo support you?
I think the Marquis of Dingguo seems to be quite powerful. He killed the princes of Fengjing at his will.
I guess he won’t take these vassals and princes seriously either.”
Ning Chen had to make sure first to see if such a grassroots prince would take action.
If this grassroots prince takes action this time, then his strategy will have to change.
Wu Zhao explained to Ning Chen: "Marquis Dingguo guards the Great Wall of Righteousness and cannot enter the capital without being summoned. Moreover, our royal family also has Uncle Jing to check and balance Marquis Dingguo.
This time it was because those idiots sought death and touched the bottom line of Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing.
None of the feudal princes and princes who will enter the city next is a fool."
Prince Jing, this is another grassroots prince that Ning Chen has never heard of.
"Your Highness, who does Prince Jing support?" Ning Chen asked tentatively.
Wu Zhao glanced at Ning Chen and sneered: "Do you think I don't have enough backers for you to rely on?"
Ning Chen quickly denied: "Your Highness, I definitely didn't mean that. I planned to see who Prince Jing supported, and I would help you kill them."
Just kidding, who could be more comfortable with a backer than Wu Zhao?
Ning Chen mainly didn't want this kind of grassroots prince that he had never heard of to come out and backstab him like that grassroots prince.
Wu Zhao would not take Ning Chen's words seriously, but he still gave Ning Chen an explanation:
"Uncle Jing Wang will not favor anyone in his heart.
As long as the person sitting on the throne is named Wu, Uncle Jing will not care how he sits on the throne.
Not to mention whether he is a boy or a girl."
Ning Chen laughed dryly: "Your Highness, you really misunderstood me. I really think that Your Highness is the most suitable to sit on this throne.
And your Highness, you should know that I am a staunch feminist."
Wu Zhao glanced sideways at Ning Chen: "So this is the reason why you didn't give me money to go to Lanxiang Pavilion."
